Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Included in this presentation are certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not
determined in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles.These
financial performance measures are not indicative of cash provided or used by operating
activities and exclude the effects of certain operating, capital and financing costs and
may differ from comparable information provided by other companies, and they should
not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or more meaningful than measures
of financial performance determined in accordance with US generally accepted
accounting principles.These financial performance measures are commonly used in the
industry and are presented because Shentel believes they provide relevant and useful
information to investors.Shentel utilizes these financial performance measures to
assess its ability to meet future capital expenditure and working capital requirements, to
incur indebtedness if necessary, return investment to shareholders and to fund
continued growth.Shentel also uses these financial performance measures to evaluate
the performance of its businesses and for budget planning purposes.
